I got dinner in the oven and finally sat down at the desk next to my guinea pigs' cage, beer in hand and ready to do the meal plan for next week. Promptly, all three of my guys started yelling at me for their dinner; dinner happens when the small noisy one goes away in the evening. It's dark and quiet. Where is dinner?

I told them, "I know it's dinner time, but... I said 'but'!"

Silence.

Not just one but three hungry, rightfully indignant pigs stopped asking for their food when asked. I think this might be a first for me in 25 years of piggie ownership?!



For the GPU: I note that others have descended into lawlessness while Miss Bramble is on holiday, but I'd like it to be known that it did get back up, promptly, to fetch them their dinner.

Side rant: Why did no-one warn me how much of my adult life would be spent planning food, buying food, preparing food, consuming food, and then cleaning up the food? I don't want to come up with ideas for what I want for dinner next week..! I am wrong 90% of the time 😫

If anyone warned us that being an adult meant being an Adult, nobody would ever be an adult.

Or...something.

It's certainly more boring and restricted than I thought it would be while growing up. Although I can now have cake/biscuits for breakfast whenever I like, even though my waistline doesn't agree any more...

When I was a child I thought 25 was the age to be, you were really someone when you were 25, you could do what you liked when you liked. Silly me!

Oh yes, by 25 I thought I'd own a house, a car, have a good career, be taking nice holidays, be in a steady relationship, maybe have kids...

At 25 I'd just graduated (my second go at getting a degree), was working 60hrs a week as a potwash for minimum wage, living with my parents, very single, and while I did have a car it kept breaking down and eating my holiday money :))

My daughter only moved out about 7 weeks ago and she’s already fed up with thinking of meals. 🤣

It doesn't get better does it :)) I feel like it should be easier with the internet but somehow the amount of information and choice makes it harder!
 
Whoops, missed quite a few replies there!

This is me. Can't decide on dinner? Spend £20 on a few things from the local Chinese and eat it for dinner on successive nights. Problem solved!

This is a tried and tested technique in our house, we approve!

Anyway, don't plan meals just have biscuits 🍪😁

Do those "breakfast" biscuits count? Because I've had a fair few breakfasts of those biscuits and a cuppa lately :whistle:


I am pleased to report that the meal plan is completed AND I've managed to include three dinners which can be doubled and the remainder frozen. Plus they're all old favourites we haven't done in a while, so it'll be nice to have a change. Future me is going to be pleased!*

*Future me had better be pleased.
